"Impact investering" er et af de mest anvendte buzzwords inden for finansiering i dag og omtales som investering med det formål at skabe positive og målbare sociale og miljømæssige ændringer ud over monetære afkast. At placere penge i projekter, virksomheder og steder, der forbedrer livet for de mennesker, der bor der - ud over at styrke din investeringsportefølje, lyder godt... men der er også mange faldgruber. Et af de mest inspirerende steder for impact-investering, men også et af de mest misforståede af internationale investorer, er Afrika syd for Sahara.I Digital Africa forklarer Jesper Drescher, en succesrig investor i den afrikanske teknologiscene siden 2013 og formand for tre afrikanske teknologivirksomheder, potentialet og farerne ved at investere i Afrika syd for Sahara. Han går i dybden med, hvad en potentiel investor har brug for at forstå om Afrika syd for Sahara, før man beslutter at drive forretning der. Hvor fordele og ulemper ligger; de særlige problemer omkring oprettelse af virksomheder, beskatning og ansættelse. Mest af alt beskriver Drescher, hvordan digitalisering er nøglen til at skabe den størst mulige effekt med din tid og dine penge - som privat person eller professionel investor.Uanset om det tager form af mobile-money for mennesker uden adgang til formel bankvirksomhed, den øgede mulighed for regeringer til at opkræve skat eller forbedre sundhedsresultaterne på baggrund af statistiske data, er digitalisering en kæmpe gevinst i Afrika syd for Sahara. Bogen er en inspirerende guide til dig som privat eller professionel investor, men samtidig en levende og eksemplificerende beskrivelse for dig, som blot er interesseret i det afrikanske kontinent.
